Wolfenstein: Eyes-Only
Hi, guys. Anime Borat here with another ad hoc fan fic, this time it's Wolfenstein. Ad hoc, as in, this was made patched and spur of the moment. What we have here is all the intel presented in Return of Castle Wolfenstein(including Ras El-Hadid from the PS2 version). I've made this just to keep my head in. What you will see right now is just part of it -at least what I was able to gather. I'll ever the rest as soon as I can edit.

Andrews Airforce Base
2350 ECHO(Eastern Standard Time)
November 15, 1954
The nighttime rain pelted the staff car I was on like hundreds of buckets of water thrown at us every minute. Angry, diagonal sheets of it where driven by erratic winds, obscuring further my vision of the darkened world outside of the car. Me, and my driver impatiently waited for the MP at the gate to check our security pass. Although it was an inconvenience, it was minor and necessary.
It's 1954, the Soviet intelligent apparatus, the KGB and GRU, have sent agents all over the world and implanted some in our backward, sometimes years in advance when the former used to be known as the NKVD. Here at home, the Red Scare is in the air, courtesy of Senator Joe ' McCarthy, Joe the Redbaiting Asshole as my buddies put him, who just recently introduced it into the US Armed Forces, believing the Pentagon to full of Soviet agents.
Bullshit.
How could that man have the nerve to slander the Army's name? While I'm not familiar with the details, I do know it had to do with some asskisser* of his in it.
The guard, drenched by the rain, came to us and handed over our security pass. He poked his head into the window and said, "You're good to go." He turned to me. "Sorry for the the delay, sir." He saluted me. I saluted him back in return.
He then motioned for gate to be opened and we slowly drove through. I looked out to the window to see the entire airbase. It was all but darkened, except for a few lights around the area. Nothing can fly in this weather, except for radar and the F89 Scorpions, jet night-fighters that can take down bomber formations at night.
I stopped at the administration building, where I stepped off, glad to at least have some temporary relief from the goddman weather. Inside, finally got a cup of coffe while my pass is once again being scrutined. After that I boarded a jeep to my final destination.
We finally stopped in front of a large warehouse at the end of the base. I was expecting it to be dark but it was illuminated by floodlights rigged on the building and cordoned off from the rest of the base with armed MPs and dog patrols. Me and my escorts dropped off and we showed our passes to guard at the door.
"Good evening, Harkins," greeted my superior, General Carrington. Carrington had been an OSS officer during the war. He was promoted to general during the Korean War. He is now the Deputy Director of Intelligence, tasked to help archive all the intelligence gathered by the OSS during the war.
"Good evening, sir," I greeted back as we shook hands.
"There's something I need you to look at." He motioned with his hand. "Follow me."
I followed him through the warehouse, already a beehive of activity with the mass of archivist like myselft milling around the shelves, sitting on tables to sift through papers and putting down notes in their journals to help them with further research. He lead me to a dark corner of the place, with a table lamp and some boxes nearby.
"You're the right man for the job."
"Yes, sir," I replied. "My specialty is Nazi occult and advance research activity."
"Ah, I see. We've known a lot about the Nazis but little about their... 'other' activities, don't you agree?" He turned to the boxes. "This was just sent to over us from our British friends, when a mansion that used to be one of our billets was cleaned. There's so much raw data that needs to gleamed into formed into a comprehensive file for future study. I'm confident in your abilities in this matter." In truth, there was so much intelligence collected from the war and so diverse was its nature that a number of specialist have to be called in to help in the archiving.
"I am prepared, sir. Thank you for briefing me."
He added, "You can sleep in the base if you want. I can have a change of clothes ordered for you."
"That would be fine, sir."
"Okay, let's cut the chitchat and get to business. Call me if you want coffee or anything." With that he left. I took my seat and turned on the lamp. With a pen knife, I opened the taped box, lableled OPERATION RESURRECTION, and unloaded all its contents: files folders, envelopes, diaries and journals, etc. They gave me a notebook and pencils to help me in my quest turn all this printed gibberish into a file. I opened the first enveloped in my hands and I felt a cold shudder on back. What I was looking at, I realized, was the most unbelievable intelligence coup in the history of the world.

Subject: Assignment
My Dear General,
While it pleases me to be off continuing service to the Third Reich, I feel that my current assignment does not befit an officer of my training and experience. I did not spend two years at the Lichterfelde Academy to be relegated to babysitting a bunch of archaelogists. With the Africa campaign going as poorly as it is, I believe that my skills could be put to better use on the battlefield.
I appreciate your consideration on this matter.

Captain,
In the interests of security, I have hired several of the locals to assist us in keeping a watchful eye throughout the village. Their knowledge of the area will be invaluable, and they should be able to alert us of any potential situations with the local community. Even though they will be working for us, you and your men should keep a close eye on them.

AFRIKA CORPS EGYPT EXCAVATION
Location: Village of Ras el-Hadid - N24 55' 24 E33 42' 18
The village section consists of mainly sandy area, leading to a rocky highland in the west which contains the ruins, tombs, and airfield.
The village has an adequate water supply. Your men should be able to confiscate enough food to sustain the research team.
Ras el-Hadid is a small Egyptian village, far enough from the Nile to be of little interest to the Allies. The ruins area is close to the west end of the village, and a distant airfield lies beyond the rocky terrain of the ruins. The airfield is suitable for both the Ju-52 Junkers cargo aircraft and the accompanying Me-109 fighters. Supplies can be ferried into the village by an access road leading from the airfield.
A large portion of the inhabitants appear to have fled to larger cities in the area. your small occupying force should have little trouble subduing the locals. You are authorized to use any means necessary to control the remaining local population.
Intelligence reports indicate that the Allies won't have enough forces in the region to mount an assault on your location in the event that they become aware of our activities.
Professor Werner Schmidt and his team of archaeologists have been tasked with recovering a pair of ancient tablets that are of great interest to the Third Reich. You have been assigned to ensure that they are located and delivered toGermany as soon as possible.
The ruins area leads to a labyrinth of tombs, which remain largely untouched due to superstitions held by the locals. The tablets should be located deep within the tombs. Your equipment will include a portable lift that should aid in the movement of men and materials into the lower tombs.

Interrogation Report - March 17, 1943
Subject: Unknown
Interrogator: Doctor Zee
Very little information was divulged by this subject. He was subjected to 77% standard current before expiring. We did discover a cyanide tablet hidden in a compartment of the subjects boots. This discovery leads us to believe that he and his accomplice are allied spies, although we have not determined at this time which agency they may be working for. I believe that I will achieve better results from his accomplice.

Prelaunch checklist: The following procedure must be completed prior to initiating launch sequence. It is the responsibility of the Control Room Watch Commander to ensure these steps are performed without deviation.
1) Elevation - the Platform Operator will elevate the rocket to the fueling position.
2) Fueling - Upon completion of elevation, the Fueling Operator will initiate fueling.
3) Tower Clearance - Upon completion of fueling, the Launch Tower Operator will open the tower doors.
Only after verifying the successful completion of these steps will the Watch Commander - with proper authority - initiate a launch sequence.

Due to the failure of our maintenance department to successfully resolve the reliability issues, which continue to plague the Remote Tower Door Actuator, it will still be necessary to employ a Backup Launch Tower Operator during all launch operations.
To prevent a repeat of last week's unfortunate incident, I am issuing the following standing order: The Backup Launch Tower Operator shall - at all times - carry a functioning communications set and shall not - under any circumstances - leave the vicinity of the Tower Door Manual Override. Hopefully, this situation will be correctly shortly and will not prove to be beyond the capabilities of our existing maintenance personnel.

Venom Tech Manual
TECHNICAL OVERVIEW
GP-VG MK2
Nomenclature:
GP-VG MK2 (Venom Gun)
Caliber:
7.92 mm (Saboted light armor piercing rounds required for proper feed)
Operation:
Electrically operated, locked breech system with six barrels and bolts; rotating bolt heads with dual locking surfaces.
Feed Mechanism:
Gear driven feeder/delinker with two-piece hinged hatch with standard GPMG disintegrating links.
Cyclic Rate:
2,000 RPM.
Operational Specifics: The GP-VG MK2 Venom Gun is electrically operated and utilizes a locking-breech system with six barrels and six bolts. The barrels rotate counter clockwise and fire in turn when they reach the 12' o-clock position. The breech mechanism features a rotating bolt head with two locking surfaces (similar to MG34 GPMG).
The bolt subassembly features a helical tang on the bolt head which mates with a helical groove on bolt body. Rotation into the battery is clockwise with the bolt rotating around the firing pin holding entire bolt assembly together.
The bolt head itself locks into recesses in the rotor (the main structural component of the gun) while the barrel interfaces with the front of the rotor. A roller on top of the bolt subassembly, moving in an elliptical cam path in the receiver housing, drives the bolt forward.
Venom Gun schematics
A flat dwell profile in the cam path holds the bolt locked briefly until the bullet has traveled past the muzzle and the pressure has dropped to a safe level.
Pins in the bolt head interface with the cam surfaces on the firing pin and cause the striker to rotate with the head.
After the extraction and the ejection, the bolt has completed a 360-degree cycle and is positioned to pick up another round. All six bolts repeat this identical process in sequence.
Original Design Problems and Construction
Notes:
The six barrels are held to the front of the rotor by an integral interrupted flange on one side of each barrel that requires a 180-degree turn for retention. All of the barrels are prevented from rotating out of their retained positions by a barrel clamp which mates with four flanges on the front of each barrel. This clamp is held in place by a single bolt.
Originally a 1/4 inch steel bolt was threaded to a self-locking nut. This nut all too frequently wore so badly that the clamp was shot off the gun. We now use a 5/16 inch bolt screwed into a castellated nut, locked in place by a cotter pin.
Off-center firing pin strikes were also a major problem in the beginning. As the bolt head moves forward into battery, just prior to rotation it looses all alignment guidance, which was provided by machined lobes on the rotor. This allowed the bolt head to wander off-center, resulting in off-center firing pin strikes. We have recently manufactured a new rotor which holds it's tolerances much closer than encountered on the original version.
The feeder/delinker represented the single greatest problem in the original design. Whenever a belt restriction occurred (a rather common event) the belt would slew sideways while entering the delinker and one of the stripper teeth would literally pierce the cartridge case, resulting in massive stoppage. As the feeder/delinker components were encased in a solid outer housing, only by removing the feeder/delinker system from the gun and disassembling it, using a pry bar to force the gears around, could clear the stoppage. This was a major project that took at least 20 minutes.
To alleviate the situation we have installed a hinged hatch on the feeder/delinker housing for easier access. Since it's a two piece unit, the hatch also permits placing the belt by hand into the proper position for firing, just like a standard belt fed machine gun's top cover (in fact, the hinged locking latch on the hatch was taken directly from the American's .50 caliber Browning machine gun's top cover).
Final Analysis:
We have recently completed 3 separate 100,000 round tests with the improved GP-VG MK2 Venom Gun. The results were phenomenal. There was only one stoppage, which was cleared in a matter of seconds. As directed, the Venom Gun is ready for deployment and is the most precisely directed and most devastating small arm weapon currently available anywhere in the world.

What an amazing day this has been. I can still hardly believe it. The remains of the last Dark Knight have finally been discovered. After all these years I feel totally vindicated. What will Strasse and the other skeptics have to say now, I wonder? Otto and I will be joining the advance team at the dig site. We leave tomorrow morning on the first train. With any luck we should be ready to begin the Life Essence Extraction by this time next week. I must remember to pack an extra wool scarf.

March 14, 1943 7pm
Very upset with how things are progressing. The work is getting sloppy. Everyone in too much of a rush. Ignoring precautions. Certain corners just cannot be cut. Those old mystics were far too clever for that. Helga is the worst offender of all. And she is supposed to be overseeing us! Doesn't she remember 1939? Does she want another disaster like the Holstein dig? I think this place is affecting her. I know it's affecting me and I don't just mean the weather.
March 16, 1943 5pm
Total disaster! Just as I feared. A premature breech of the outer seal. All Hell has literally broken loose! It's 1939 all over again, maybe even worse. Three team members missing - including Otto. I don't hold out much hope for them. Also, I just heard two spies were captured. Can things possibly get any worse? I feel awful.
March 17, 1943 3pm
Unbelievable! We just barely contain one disaster and now she speaks of going after the "Dagger of Warding". This, of course, means breaking the inner seal beyond the crypt chamber and unleashing God only knows what. This is completely outside the scope of our mission and jeopardizes everything. I plan to make a full report of her conduct to our superiors. Is this woman really a disciple of the great Marianna Blavatsky? Too bad none of the high priestess' wisdom rubbed off on her. We are scheduled to begin in six hours. I'll be happy when it's all over. I think my cold is getting better.

Author's note: *Reference to the Army-McCarthy hearings. The Army accused chief committee counsel Roy Cohn of pressuring the Army to give preferential treatment to G. David Schine, a former McCarthy aide and a friend of Cohn's. McCarthy counter-charged that this accusation was made in bad faith and in retaliation for his recent aggressive investigations of suspected Communists and security risks in the Army. I know it's incorrect but I'm conveying the thoughts of Harkins the archivist. See you again soon.
